Amarte Más no Pude (I Couldn't Have Loved you More), performed by Diomedes Díaz:

Why do you want to blame me?if you were to me like water to the thirstyDon't you remember how I felt like dyingwithout the honey of your kisses,

But once I saw you leaveI could not avoid itI got stuck in the attempt,You stopped to water the garden,and there's but dead petals in it now

So then, why saythat I didn't love you if it wasn't true so then, why saythat I didn't love you if it wasn't true To say I didn't love ya' would be to deny my songsand that Felix Molina never sang to his land

That the cumbia and the porro bare not the most noble of sentimentsand that all the toreros of the sabanaand that I forged a whole world of illusions with youuntil I felt like I carried you like the blood in my veins.

But a day came when you left my landwithout telling me neither why nor whereto but a day came when you left my landwithout telling me neither why nor whereto

I cared about you with all my soul, you know,that I could not love more, you flewtowards the highest amongst the cloudsand I could no longer reach you

And now today, when you get off your cloudit's too late, oh well...since there is nothing left, of that greatest of loves...since there is nothing left, of that greatest of loves...

Who could love us more than God,if it was He who created us to His likeness.He was the one who died in the cross for our salvation,asking for nothing in return.

Likewise, did I suffer the absence of your loveas you flew alongnot caring about my pain, that was your mistake,so what are you really claiming?

And now you come along, asking for forgivenessbecause a wind broke your wings,and now you come along, asking for forgivenessbecause a wind broke your wings,

I can forgive you if what you feel is repentbut coming back to you, I cannot do even in my dreamsRemember that I gave you the better part of my life,seeking to be happy but I failed in my noble attempt'Cause you thrashed my feelings around the floor,as if they were something useless that you throw out anywhere.

And if it serves as consolation,I'll ask my God to bless you,and if it serves as consolation,I'll ask my God to bless you

I cared about you with all my soul, you know,that I could not love more, you flewtowards, amongst the clouds, the highestand I could no longer reach you

And now today, when you get off your cloudit's too late, oh well...since there is nothing left, of that greatest of loves...since there is nothing left, of that greatest of loves...since there is nothing-nothing left, of that greatest of loves...
